If On A Winter's Night, Four Travelers

If on a Winter's Night: Four Travelers is a point-and-click adventure game with classic mechanics. It takes place in February 1929 somewhere in Central Asia aboard a train where a masked ball is going on. Four characters meet there and they have no recollection how they ended up on the train. Each character then tells his or her story through a flashback played in a linear fashion.

The game is strictly linear. The player controls the characters and uses the mouse to move around, examine and interact with the environment. Usually the number of locations is quite small with clear hints about what to do next. There is no inventory system, so when an item is picked up it needs to be used somewhere else right away. While talking to characters there are multiple dialogue options. Puzzles are a mix of straightforward actions and more complex ones that require a careful examination of the environment.
